Hey bro !
How are yah?
If we meet in my kitchen today
it's because we're gonna talk gardening
Planting trees,
nature,
environment,
global warming,
You get it, right?
You know what? Let's go in my garden,
seems more appropriate.
Alright follow me, follow me !
You followin' ? :D
Here we are
Damn it
Damn it !
Alright then, let's get out of here
In the end we meet in my room
because it's apparently impossible
to film quietly something in one's garden
The neighbours' kid is...
... screaming to death
because he doesn't like the color of the leaves
I really don't know why he's shouting like that
"Have kids !", they say.
Bro, my son won't scream like that for sure
He won't be allowed, it'll be
SCHLAK
Big slap in his face
And we can move on
Right?
That's how you'll raise your kids as well, right? ^^
Aaalright, nutrition for Street Workout
Well, here we are finally
So we were actually gonna talk food, okay?
Small intro on myself :
I started Street Workout
summer 2016
So that's a bit over a year ago now
but before that, I did a bit of wieght training
I therefore have a few notions about
training biceps
and meal prep
Bro hang on to your seat, I'm gonna suprise you
When you're doing Street Workout
your body's working exactly the same
as when you're into bodybuilding,
you're running marathons,
or when you wanna become
the news darts world champion.
So the way you influence your body
by eating follows the same rules
But your goals regarding mass,
endurance and strength
might not be the same.
I you wanna have a say in what happens to you,
you're gonna have to eat accordingly to your objectives
espicially if you wish to facilitate
gaining muscle or losing fat
You can also completely wing it !
who can tell really,
you might still lose 20 pounds !
Personnaly, I like to control what's happening
That's why I prepared you this video
in order to introduce nutritions' basics for Street Workout
actually, nutritions' basics for a human being
We're gonna have an overview on
everything you're eating that contains calories
meaning macronutrients
In English, they say "Macros"
Anybody wanna translate? ;)
So,
During your life, you'll eat 4 different macronutrients
So I'm gonna officially introduce each one of them !
Let's start with the one you're most interested in :
PROTEIN
WHAT'S IT FOR ?
It's primal use is to help build muscle when eating enough
and to help maintain it when eating less
WHERE DO I FIND IT ?
You'll find some
in lean meats,
in powders,
in lean fish,
in eggs,
in powders,
in diary products,
and of course,
in protein powder !
HOW MUCH DO I NEED ?
It mostly depends on the amount of
muscle and fat you're carrying around right now
It can easily go from
1 to 3 grams per KG of bodyweight per day
Just know that if you're really overweight,
you have to take your lean mass
To help you understand, I'll take myself as an example
Right now, I'm in my pre-winter period,
so I still have hopes to save
about one out of two abs
I'm therefore in my softening phase
See? Wait I'll show you
And I'm weighing it at about 85 KGs / 187 lbs now
Regarding my current state of Super Athlete
I clearly need at least 2g of protein/kg/day
I'm the best at maths bro,
2 times 85 = 170g of protein per day
That0s what I'm personnaly aiming for
DIETARY FAT
WHAT'S IT FOR ?
Dietary fat,
or just "fat",
is something you need to survive.
If you don't any well...
you die :)
It'll be used to absorb vitamins,
regulate your hormones,
oil your brains' functions
and a lot of other cool things like that !
WHERE DO I FIND IT ?
You'll find some
in fatty meats,
fatty fish,
nuts,
butter, oil,
in basically everything that tastes good
and make you feel guilty afterwards ! :)
HOW MUCH DO I NEED ?
It depends again on the same parameters as for protein
but it'll generally be between
15 and 45% of your total daily calorie intake
which then depends on your goal intake
otherwise, 0.8-1.5g per KG of lean body mass you built
will generally be sufficient and optimal
Aaaand now
CARBS !
WHAT'S IT FOR ?
You see, for protein and fat, you'll generally
get absolute numbers that will relatively
not change so much regarding your goals
For carbs, it's the exact opposite ! :D
I keep them for the end, because for any diet
that isn't based on the advice
of a clown,
they's ll be here to fill the gaps,
which means the rest of daily calories you have left
after eating your protein and fat
It's gonna be your body's primal
source of energy to allow you to..
.. move your butt around all day long,
as well as to do
every necessary action for your survival
They'll be stored in the liver, brain,
blood and muscle
as glycogen, in order to be used when needed
WHERE DO I FIND IT ?
You'll find some in fruits,
vegetables,
grains, cereals,
and in all the processed food you can find around,
and in all the sugary sodas
HOW MUCH DO I NEED ?
You can survive without,
but there's absolutely no fun in that.
Also know that some high level athletes will
easily eat up to 700g per day,
which leaves you with
a pretty useless range
Between 1-4g/kg/day should be enough for most goals
But as you surely know, it will depend on
your body composition when you wake up,
and what you're gonna be doing eith your day.
So,
you thought it was over?
Bro, no.
Let me introduce the 4th macronutrient
that you need to take into account.
This one, certain people know and consume more than others
I'll let you judge yourself
It's my pleasure, please meet
Alcohol !
Alcohol, Bro
Bro, Alcohol
Well, no hugs or kisses ?
We do 3 ! (kisses in Switzerland)
Well, I won't discriminate then !
So ALCOHOL
WHAT'S IT FOR ?
It'll surely make super cool,
very funny,
and way more sociable...
Oooor it can get you to reach new levels
of agressivity,
decibel,
and attempts to grab butts
It'll also have quite random effects
on your sexual performance,
your mental state,
your love for others,
and on your energy levels
WHERE DO I FIND IT ?
Hmm
Well you'll mostly find it in liquids
like the one you use to wash your mouth,
the one to get your barbecue started,
or also the one you put on your hands when you train
Here you go !
HOW MUCH DO I NEED ?
I'm not sure I wanna give recommandations here,
but you might wanna aim for
a quantity that seems reasonnable
in order to forget all your problems,
be able to talk to bros and chicks at the party
or in the morning,
or also to make you brave enough to attempt
a human flag on the club's pledance bar
I'll let you decide !
We arrive at the end of this 1st video on macros
I'll summarize all of this for you
Calories are found in macros, which are
proteins, fats,
carbs and alcohol,
which each have their own amount of kcal/grams
Chances are you still have questions about all of that
We haven't dived so deep into the subject yet
and that's why I keep the rest for my next video about nutrition
You can also ask questions in the comments section
and I'll answer them in furture videos
But if you have a very urgent question and cannot wait,
take your smartphone out,
look me up on Instagram,
send me a short video :
"Hey Eric I was watching your Youtube video
it's really awesome, but I have a question"
And I'll answer you with a video of my own
alright ?
We do it this way?
Thanks so much for watching,
I'm really grateful that you take
some of your time for this
Subscribe if you liked it enough
Wow, feels good
to speak normally again ^^
Bro, see you soon,
Thanks again and...
Alright bye !
